Editors' Review

There are fewer image-editing apps for Android than we'd like to see, which is why it's a good thing that Adobe created a version of its Photoshop.com app for the Android platform. That is, if works on your phone at all. Although the simple, intuitive app produced a thumbnail gallery of saved photos on our Nexus One, it failed to read the SD card on our HTC Incredible and popped up a blank gallery.

Click "edit" to start cropping, straightening, color-correcting, and adding effects and borders. While there are generally enough tools to accomplish our aims, a few more features--such as red eye removal and rotating--wouldn't go amiss. Photos save to your phone's gallery and although you can upload them to Photoshop.com (you'll need to register for an account), Facebook, or Twitter via TwitPic from the app, it's a shame you can't e-mail or SMS edited pics from within the app.

If you've got a Photoshop.com account, you can also edit pictures from the app by switching from your Phone tab to the Online tab. No worries if you're not yet registered--you can sign up for a free account directly from the phone.

We hope that Adobe soon addresses compatibility issues with certain Android phones. In the meantime, since the app costs nothing to download but your time, it's one we recommend for mobile shutterbugs to try.

Publisher's Description

+

From Adobe Systems:
Perfect your pictures with the Photoshop.com Mobile App on your Android phone. Simply drag your finger to crop, adjust color, apply effects--you name it. Crop, rotate, and color-correct with the touch of a finger. Add soft focus or change to black & white with a click. Go classic by adding a sepia tint. Intuitive Photo Browser for viewing local and online images. Apply one-touch effects like Warm Vintage and Vignette. When your image is perfect, you can make it your phone background or share it.

Easy to use. Does not overwrite the origional picture, insteads creates a copy. So far (two weeks now) I have not had to force shut down at all.

Cons

Could have more border choices and maybe the ability to place text on the pics too.

Summary

I love the full version for the puter and when I saw this for the Droid, I just had to get it. I have been VERY impressed so far. I like that it makes a copy of the picture automatically before any changes are made to it.
